Is surgery the answer?   Message List

     A couple of deterioriting cervical discs pressing on the spinal cord and producing
          Pains down left arm and into thumb
          Loss of power in left arm
          Pains in neck,head constantly lowered thereby looking at the floor most of the time, and restrictted movement in the neck
    
     Will surgery to weld the disc, using a graft from the hip bone the solution to this problem?
 
     I wonder if anyone has knowledge of family members or friends who have undergone such an operation and what are their views.  I would like to hear from you very much.
